im absolutely seething. as you might know, Frida has been experiencing bouts of gi stasis and i was all set for having her tested for EC as a possible cause.
being the responsible owner that i am, i have frida insured, and rang pet protect today to check whether they would definitely pay for EC tests. of course they will, but if EC is causing the stasis then the entire claim will be negated, and probably any future claims for anything that could potentially be caused by EC. the reason for this??? "EC is caused by a parasite and we dont pay for any routine or preventative treatment for worms, internal or external parasites" I suppose i should have read the very small print on my insurance documents but i didnt think they would be so exact.
so now im not having Frida tested for EC, as it will affect the existing claim and future claims. After discussion with my vet, I'm going to give her a 28 day course of panacur, which im not buying through the vet, and im just going to go with my suspicion that she has got EC.
Vent over now - feel a bit better
